Kon Knueppel scored 17 points and Tyrese Proctor and Sion James both notched 16, and No. 2 Duke responded from a seven-point deficit in the second half to beat rival North Carolina 82-69 on Saturday night at Chapel Hill,

Flagg added 15 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists despite first-half foul trouble for the Blue Devils, who went 19-1 in ACC play.
